The "agree by closing this popup" tactic is, as far as I can tell, not allowed under GDPR. Here's hoping all the companies that do that get slapped with a fine.

This forever popup unless you accept should run afoul of the language in GDPR that forbids the degradation of a service if a user does not opt in.

Likewise "by continuing to browse this website, you agree" implied consent is no longer allowed.

They won't be. They will be first be notified and then fined if they refuse to comply.
